Council approves rezoning at 2601 Guadalupe Street with use‑restrictions after neighborhood negotiations
Summary
Council approved changing 2601 Guadalupe Street from R4 to C2 with council‑negotiated prohibitions on liquor stores, indoor gaming, pet cemetery, gas stations and vaping/smoke shops after staff, commission and public comment were presented.
San Antonio’s City Council on Feb. 19 approved a rezoning for 2601 Guadalupe Street, moving the property from R4 to C2 under conditions negotiated between the applicant and neighborhood representatives.
Planning staff presented the item and said it was a change of zoning from R4 to C2PNA; staff recommended denial while the Zoning Commission recommended approval. Staff reported 67 mailed notices with no responses returned and no responses recorded from nearby neighborhood associations. A member of the public, Jack M. Finger, urged the council to maintain the neighborhood’s residential character and warned that upzoning could set a precedent for commercial encroachment.
Councilwoman Castillo said she appreciated work with the Historic Westside Residents Association and the applicant, Mr. Zambrano, and said the applicant agreed to prohibit several uses at the site, including a liquor store, indoor gaming facility, pet cemetery, gas station, and vaping or smoke shop. She moved to approve the rezoning with those prohibitions; the motion carried.
The council’s approval is conditioned by the explicit prohibitions Castillo read into the record. The transcript does not show a detailed roll‑call tally, but the chair announced the motion carried.
